The Traitors spoilers follow.

The Traitors legend Diane Carson has responded to her son Ross being eliminated in the show's latest episode.

Faithful Diane was murdered last week, while Ross – who was initially a Faithful too – was recruited as a Traitor in a big twist at the end of the week.

However, last night's (January 24) episode saw Ross banished from the castle after just one day as a Traitor, with fellow Traitors Harry and Andrew among those giving him their votes.

Diane has now taken to Instagram to share her reaction to the big scene, shouting at the TV in disbelief, "God no! No! Nooo! Ross!", as the players each show their slates for her son.

However, as Ross announces that Diane is his mum, she gives a cheeky smile and wink to the camera, before it pans up to a picture of her son.

Writing in the comments, Diane said: "They were gunning for you since breakfast. You were AMAZING son. You did us proud. And what an exit. Team Diane(a)Ross, over and out [clapping emoji] [fire emoji]".

Following his exit, it was revealed that the code name on set for Ross and Diane was "The Supremes" – owing to the link between their names and The Supremes member Diana Ross.

During an appearance with his mum on The Traitors: Uncloaked, Ross also opened up about his failed plan to take down the Traitors from the inside.

"The plan was to cause chaos in the ranks, have Andrew in my ranks and get Harry's name out there," he said. "[Harry's] so solid, he's got such a sweet face on him.

"There was a plan, but I had 12 hours to sort the plan out so I was trying to pit them against each other. I didn't realise Andrew was so cottoned that Harry was probably gonna murder him at some point. He's not the type. He's such a lovable, friendly giant.

"So I thought I really had to sway Andrew, that was the game plan. But then Harry went straight to Andrew, and Andrew starting lying... Andrew gaslit me."
